snow
       

snow         snow snow snow
                    Not a single flake alike
but all of them       spoken for
                and we think nothing of it

chickadee     nuthatch     jay
                Think bird is bird is bird is

                But if I push the edges out
something gives:
            the bird flies
                out of its name-cage

                and I can almost see
                                                                form     set free
